I’m not saying Love Island is ruining my sleep schedule, but I do now have strong opinions about strangers who live in a villa, do the splits, and say “connection” way too much. NYC is giving us that same messy, entertaining energy, minus the $100K prize.

A VIP SummerStage experience, though? That we can supply. WayV, THE EITHER, and Chopstix hit Central Park in August, and we’re giving away Best Seats On Us tickets with elevated viewing and comped drinks. Enter to win.

JUST ANNOUNCED

• The only heatwave worth chasing is Joe’s Pub’s comedy lineup, with Chloe Radcliffe, Jen Kirkman, Youngmi Mayer, Murray Hill, and more keeping things funny through fall. Grab tickets now.

• Last chance for Wednesday plans: Young Gun Silver Fox brings their silky West Coast yacht rock to Sony Hall for Blue Note Jazz Festival. Enter to win tickets or secure your seat now.

• It’s decadent. It’s disco. It’s late night. It’s More More More at LPR this Friday. Win your way into a night of Donna Summer, Chaka Khan, Diana Ross, and more dance floor essentials. Basically, your excuse to dress up and show out.*

• Cab Ellis brings their unruly indie rock to LPR in the round, which means it’ll be closer, louder, and better than your average Friday night. Get tickets this week.

• Plus other just announced shows from Afrojack, Empress Of, Rising Appalachia, The Knocks, American Football, Jeff Arcuri, and more!
